Friends, I believe we are in the midst of a new age where the integrated human is awakening. It's the process of us uniting our minds, hearts and gut instincts into one cohesive, solid, clear sense of self where we are whole unto ourselves and simultaneously free to play dynamically in the world. But this doesn't happen automatically, we have to do…

As we all stand on the precipice of the new, what are the new choices we feel inspired to make? I love that fresh starts can enable new choices. This episode is about how to understand the landscape and language of the heart in order to make new choices that are truly ours. I offer an approach of inner navigation to source deep wisdom in order to d…

When we awaken from a deep sleep, our eyes open to life. Well similarly, awakening is a metaphor for our eyes opening to a deeper truth of who we are and what is life. This episode unpacks the different paths or processes that helped me in my ongoing journey of awakening to the deepest truth of who we are as souls in physical form. I talk of study,…

Friends, I've returned from hiatus to bring you this wonderful episode on the nature of existence.

In this dispatch from a volcano in Bali, Indonesi…

What is eroticism? How do we integrate the sexual self into the larger tapestry of who we are? How do we see ourselves as sexual beings; de-shamed and in our own power. How do we make the sexual act more joyous, more present, more connected and intimate? These are some of the questions I'll explore in this episode. Sex is not just sex. Eroticism is…

Hopefully this meandering talk, including an impromptu guided meditation brings you into a personal exploration of all the lives you …

These are challenging times my friends and perhaps we can be the heroes of our own story. It requires a paradigm shift that begins within ourselves. From one of seeing ourselves and each other as objects, that can be judged and discarded. To one of seeing ourselves and each other as sacred expressions of life to be respected, valued and loved. It's…

In this dispatch from Bali, I talk about the proactive work we must do in order to architect a deep and solid sense of worthiness. I cover the impact of our childhoods and how it can fracture or create a fissure in our self-worth and how perhaps that fracture is purposeful. It is designed to get us to look within, to remove any belief systems born …

Sometimes we find ourselves in the space between two versions of our lives. One that doesn't quite feel right anymore and one that has yet to present itself. While this space can be challenging (and the disillusionment that comes with it), it's actually the bridge between two worlds. I talk about the importance of this phase of life transformation,…

This episode is an important one friends. It's a blueprint for how to access what your heart truly wants - the clues and insights around who you truly are, what you are here to do and experience and be. And that accessing this treasure can only be done by resolving some emotional residue from past experiences. I give you an explanation on how to un…

This episode explores fear in identity. Fear has a role in life - it's designed to keep us safe. But fear in identity separates us from true aspects of us. This exploration shines a light on why we might be afraid to become more truly us. And likely much of the fear comes from values or qualities that our upbringing system did not value or actively…

Breathe, feel, listen, see - that is how we enter the heart and understand the unique experiences that our soul wants. This episode is about learning the language of the heart in order to access the unique blueprint of living that is etched in it.

Happy 2022 friends. This first episode of the year is a deep and personal exploration of what we carry - pain, fear, doubt, etc. We carry belief systems born out of personal trauma, ancestral values and collective/global challenges. And those beliefs can really hinder our enjoyment of being us and living. I talk about negotiating outdated belief sy…

This episode picks up from Part 1 and focuses on the intersection between the process of becoming and our need to belong. As children, we decipher what we perceive as the terms of belonging - who we need to be in order to be loved and accepted in our culture. Sometimes the need to belong can obscure or hide certain parts of us. This episode talks o…

This episode introduces a fresh perspective on the process of becoming and how to witness it and support it in our lives. It's the understanding that we are always unfolding - new things coming on line and old things going away. We can claim who we are today, but we have to leave room for whom we could be tomorrow. The last 5 mins of the episode un…

Hi Friends. I am back from taking a summer break from Drunk on Spirit.

Unpacking what they ar…

I describe a powerful Ayahuasca ceremony …

Happy New Year my friends. This episode talks about the potential of 2021 that the challenge of 2020 set up for us.

It's a time for creation and community. We take what we …

This episode is about identity and how to have a richer understanding of who you are. It's about recognizing the trinity in us - our power, our shadow and the unseen.

In challenging times we want to believe that the best, warrior-self shows up. But, sometimes, that best version of us isn't available - and maybe that has to be okay.

Phew, exhale, maybe we don't have to try so hard to be seen as great.

How to know when something is ending, how to let go of it, how to operate in t…

This episode explores the power of the narratives that play out on the inside of our minds.

I'll explore the belief systems upon which those narratives are based and how to cha…

You have to fight my friends, against everything inside of you and outside of you that’s going to tell you that who you are, as you are, is not good enough, is not lovable. We take on these codes of lovability from our ancestry, our parents, our culture and then we embed them deep into our psyches. We attack ourselves when we fail to measure up, bu…

Sitting by the Salmon River near Portland, Oregon, USA - I talk of the challenge of feeling stuck in life and how to transform it and flow. For me, stuck is more a mental concept than anything else.
